ROUGH AND READY MILL BURNED.

Wednesday last about noon the Rough
and Ready Touring mill, belonging to
Christian Koenig and the Bank of Water
town, was destroyed by fire. Both fire
companies were on the ground as prompt
ly as the long distance would permit, and
a number OF the fremen here at the tour
nament we're also on hand, rendering
what assistance they could. The build
ing being frame soon s1ccumbed to the
flames Fortunately, there was only a
small stock in the building and this was
mostly saved. The fire is supposed to
have started from hot box in one of the
upper floors. The Rough and Ready was
one of the oldest mills in Jefferson county.
It was erected in 1847 by Luther A. Cole
& Co. Recently the mill had been fitted
up with the latest roller machinery. The
loss is estimated at $4,000, with the fol-
lowing insurance: Phoenix association,
London, 81 500; Hamburg Bremen, ST.
900; Fire association, Philadelphia, ST.
900; Millers association, Chicago, So, 900.
The stock was insured in the Oshkosh
Mutual for ST 900.

THE FlREMEN'S TOURNAMENT.

Wednesday last, as announced, the
grand tiremen's tournament was held on
the Central fair grounds. Some 500 fire.
men were present, and it proved the gala
day of the Central fair. The following is
list of the organizations having repre-
sentatives present: Fort Atkinson, two;
Beaver Dam, one; Portage, two; Baraboo,
three; Jefferson, one; Edgerton, one;
Madison, four; Columbus, two; Oconomo-
voc, one; WATERFOWL, two. In the hook
and ladder contest Fort Atkinson took
the first prize of $50, in AZ seconds; JEFF
ferson, second prize, $25, in 421s; Beaver
Dam, third prize, $15, in 48; Portage,
fourth prize, $40, in 30. In the hose
contest Madison took first prize, $50, in
35 seconds; Edgerton, second prize, $25,
in Sc; Fort Atkinson, third prize, $15, IN
50; Portage, fourth prize, $40, in 451a.
1t is on the record that the Phoenix COM
pany, of this city, made the best run on
the ground, but through an unfortunate
disarrangement of their coupling, caused
by attending the Rough & Ready mill
fire a few hours before, they found
great difficulty in turning the coupling,
so tight had it become.
Wednesday morning a state fremen's
tournament was organized with the cleo
ton of the following officers: C. w.
Harvey, Beaver Dam, president; J. G..
Simmons, Baraboo, corresponding secre-
tary; OF. Kerschensteiner, Jefferson, re-
cording secretary. The tournament next
year will be held at Madison.
The ruling of the judges in the hose
race was reversed by majority of the
board of control, giving first prize to
Oconomowoc and second to WATERFOWL.
the other companies contesting being
barred out on the ground of not strictly
complying with the rules governing the
tournament. This reversal from the first
decision has created considerable feeling
among the companies from whom the
awards are withheld, and il is much to
be desired that an amicable adjustment
of the controversy will be made.

Mutuals vs.. Lake Mills.

There was sharp, exciting and inter-
esting game of base ball played on the
Central Fair grounds Friday afternoon
between the Watertown Mutuals and the
Lake Mills Blues, the crack amateur club
of the state, the latter being the winners
by the score of s to 7. The record was
by no means discreditable to the Mutuals
considering the reputation of the club
pitted against them. 1t was evident the
Lake Mills boys found stronger team
than they expected, and to lose the game
would have Inundated their pride very
much, and therefore that one tally was
most precious to them. But for rank
decision of the umpire on bell, which
he declared was blocked" ball when 1t
was nothing of the kind, giving them the
winning run, the Lake Mills players
would have returned home feeling bluer
than their suits. The Lake Mills club,
as an aggregation, is the most boisterous
and vigorous kicker seen here this season.
Mr.. Keel, catcher of the Columbus Blues.
umpired the game, giving good satisfac-
ton, except in the case of the "blocked'
ball. Following is the score:

Editor Repu6lican:-There being
hitch about the award of the judges at the
iremen's tournament held last Wednesday
on the Central Fair grounds, a few words
of explanation might not come amiss.
The Madison Journal of September %
says: "The prize has not yet been awarded,
protest having been made by the Water
town company ON some technical points
in the rules" Section 5 of the rules
governing the tournament reads as fol-
lows: every person taking part in any
run shall be required to start with the
company at the starting point, company
not to exceed sixteen men. Plug man
shall be allowed twenty feet pull from
plug, but the pipe must be carried from
the start by pipeman, coupling to be
made complete" The Madison company,
through its representative on the board of
control, did not attempt to deny that bis
company was assisted in the "pull off,"
at the plug. All other companies pulled
off with one man. The Madison member
of the board of control was allowed two
hours to argue his case and parties who
desire the vote of the board can get it by
writing to OF. Kerchensteiner, of Jeffer
son, recording secretary. There were on
~ two votes in favor of Madison. The
Edgerton team was among the first to de-
tect that the work done by the Madison
team in the pull off was contrary to Sec
ton s. of tournament rules, and voluntari-
ly agreed to support protest against it,
Tt is ascertained from the recording secre-
tary that the Edgerton representatives on
the board of control voted in favor of
Madison Notwithstanding their protest to
Madison on the fair grounds Seven votes
were taken, Madison and Edgerton back
ing the decision of the judges. Legal
authority in our city says that according
to section 5 Madison is barred out Why,
it is asked many times, did not Madison
take exceptions to section 5 before the
running took place? The 5000 for prizes
to be awarded to the several competing
fire companies at the tournament is now
on deposit in the Bankfof Watertown and
will be paid over to the winning COM
panies when the proper authority renders
decision as to the companies entitled to
the money. G. E. STRAW.

The Portage State Register goes out
of its way to shower abuse on Watertown
and her iremen, because of their failure
in not putting out the Rough and Ready
mill fire, and sets forth in very boastful
terms what Portage is capable of doing at
a fire. We don't know what the Portage
fire laddies are capable of accomplishing,
perhaps wonders and impossibilities, as
they are possessed of abundance of SAND,
but we do know that the Watertown fire
department has done as good work as any
similar organization in the state could do.
OF course accidents, such as the bursting
of hose, cannot be provided against al
ways, neither at NVatertown nor Portage.

THE CORRUPTIONIST SENATOR

The corrupt party fight in the New
Hampshire Legislature is over, and Boss
Chandler has been duly elected United
States Senator.
In the very nature Of the fight it was
but a matter Of barter and sale, and
Chandler as the party machine boss had
the longest purse, and the choicest oppor-
tunities for its use.
The struggle, however, was bitter
one, and nothing but the most money
could conquer. Boss Chandler had the
most money, and by dint of being able
to use the largest quantity of this peculiar
and convincing Republican argument,
has become Uaited States Senator from
the old Granite State.
Chandler's principal Republican oppo-
nents were Ex-senator Rollins and Ex-
Governor Cheney. The Legislature is
overwhelmingly Republican, and the
Democratic nominee had no chance from
the start. The contest was but Repub-
lican scramble on a strictly financial
issue. The squabble was an interesting
one. The whole affair was redolent Of
Republican ways and means-and the
Boss had the most means. The most
direct charges of unblushing corruption
were fiercely and openly banded back
ward and forward by the contending
Republican factions. In this party mud
throwing the Boss seems to have got
decidedly the worst of it, and was thus
proved the best Republican.
Ex-Governor Cheney charged the
Boss with "acts of double dealing" and
ex-senator Rollins told the public
through his newspaper that Chandler
had robbed him of six years in the Sem
ate to which he was Justly entitled"
Thus it will be seen that Boss Chan
dler's administration by the New Hamp-
shire Republican machine is perfect
His opponents themselves have been
made to play into his hand all the way
through. "Acts of double dealing" and
robbery" are qualifications in United
States Senator not to be lightly thrown
aside by Republican Legislature.
Boss Chandler, stained with every
foul daub possible to corruption, goes to
the United States Senate from New
Hampshire. He goes by the action of a
Republican Legislature. The verdict of
the people of the Granite State on the
shameless iobbery disgracing their Leg
islature has yet to be pronounced. When
this verdict is given, may the example Of
Rhode Island be as beacon light to the
voters of New Hampshire.

Disappointed COnspiratOrs,

Henry George gives page Of his pape
to defense OF the Union Square demon
stration in honor of O'Brien, but which
in the sequel was turned against him
The opinion of the NeWs, expressed wher
the incident was wired from New York
is in accord with the press of the country
with the exception CT few papers de.
voted to Socialism or some form of alb.
surdity.
The general approval of O'Brien's pru.
dence and presence of mind in refusing
to fall into the trap which was prepared
for him does not prevent his continued
denunciation by these extremists. His
attendance at the meeting would have
done incalculable injury to the cause oi
Ireland and her friends. The selection
of McMaekin to preside at meeting in
O'Brien's honor would be construed by
England as tacit approval of the Phe-
nix Park murders, crimes so odious that
their occurrence nearly drove Parnell
into private life from very shame.
O'Brien's attendance at that meeting
would have tacitly committed him, and
by construction his friends in Ireland, tc
the advocacy OF a scheme Of wholesale
robbery by the confiscation of all title in
land. His presence would have COM
promised him with his church and with
the Catholics of Ireland. He would have
been obliged to participate in the passage
of a resolution which will be condemned
by nearly all Roman Catholics.
With a resolution denouncing English
coercion in Ireland, the managers of tie
Union square meeting sandwiched a
resolution deprecating the coercion ol
American citizens by 'Italian" authority
meaning the discipline of a priest by
the head of his church to whom he has
sworn obedience.-Denuer News.

shall in no instance exceed 200 ounces, to be
paid in current funds, the price &c be deter
mined by the last sale at the New York
Stock Exchange at the time of delivery. A
charge Of 25 cents will be made for the issue
of each certificate and one cent day stor-
age on each 1000 ounces of bullion. No

low the standard of 99S fine will be refined

of bullion on hand and the number Of GER

Thus silver, by its own innate power,
is forcing itself steadily forward. The
listing of silver certificates by the New
York Exchange can be looked on as the
initial success which indicates the final
triumph-the complete and speedy res
toration of the white metal to its rightful
and beni6cent place in the world S
finances.
